Unlike countries blessed with abun- dant and timely rains, upland wells in Arizona, are not supplied from surface
 seepage. but have their water supply
 from unfailing mountain sources, which
 do not vary with the seasons to any
 marked extent. Those wells ID which an
 abundant supply of water has been ob-
 tsined, may be depended upon for all
 time unless. which rarely happens, their source is cut of by seismic disturbances.
 It IS believed by the pioneers of Arizo.
 na, that water could only be obtained on the messs and plains, from the scat tered springs that wslled up occasional ly from the earth. This idea is rapidly
 being dispelled. abundant water at a greater or less depth, having rewarded the labor of the vell-digger in almost every case, and often at only 6 few feet from the surface,
 One good well, with water properly economized and stored for use, wlll irr- gate from five to ten acres, rnd it is be- lieved that by the introduction of per forated tile and sub-irrigstion, as sue. cessfully prsctioed in many portions of California and Arizona, more than tv1ce the greater area. While the original cost of wells is 6 serious objection to the superficial thinker, 1t must be remem- bered that the cost of sinking once paid IS paid forever. With good wells, wind pumps and good storage, he who owns a good we'll and ten acres of rich Arizona land, is the possessor of 6 sure com potency for iia-Albususraus Citizen. |

NEW-HAVEN ITEMS.

At this writing the farmers are busy
harvesting and 1t is otherwise Uery
dull but live in anticipation of a good
time on the glorious 4th.
We learn that a young son of Mr..
Joseph Wilmington, of the vicinity
of Leetown, was bitten recently in the
end of one of his fingers by copper
snake, which caused his arm to swell
greatly. The little fellow is getting
along well. Parents should be careful
to keep their children from running
through the woods and fields.
Joseph Fiscus, Esq, had to have
his horse shot which was permanent
ly famed by having the tendon in one
of its hind legs severed by the point
of a pillow shovel.
Did you ever hear of" orangeade ?"
Well one of our rural chaps" went
to your city to purchase lemons prep
aratory to have harvest festival and
brought oranges instead of lemons.
Thos. r. Gregory and family of
your city, paid his parents flying
visit Sunday, June Goth inst. We
were glad to see him looking so well.
We still have more petty stealing
in this vicinity. We understand that
some unknown party went into Mr..
Michael Wilson's house not long since
and took piece of meat whilst the
family were short distance from the
house also Jno. Roberts, ESQ.,, lost
some flour and meat about the same
time; the parties should be brought to
justice.
We were one of the lucky number
who got an invitation to birthday
dinner given by Mrs. Nathaniel Locke,
in honor of Mr.. Locke, Sunday, June
18th. We don't know whether there
were any epicures present or not but
Judging from the way" Charlie" "put
it aWay,n he must have been " near
byD or "close to" some gOrmandizer
in his life time. After partaking of
bountiful repast placed before us,
which consisted of all the delicacies
of the season, we repaired to an um-
brageous bower under which we en-
joyed ourselves in social conversation,
some talking politics. others religion
and some we think toolishaess, judging
from the peals of laughter which came
ringing to our ears when; suddenly
and agreeably we were surprised to
see large bucket of lemonade and a
great many cakes set down in our
midst. Well of course it wouldn't
have been right to see it go to waste
so we proved unequal to the tempta-
ton ahd helped ourselves. Thanks
to Mrs. and Mr.. Locke and may they
both live long and enjoy many such
birthday anniversaries as this was.
There will be Dunkard preaching

FOR THE HERALD.
JULY 4th, 1887.

Now over century we count
In the lap of old Time sleeping,
Since in Penn's city quaint and fair
Brave men their tryst were keep
ing.
And bodily there these men proclaim
The rights of man, God-given,
And the tyrants trembled as they saw
Their close-linked chains were
riven.
And Liberty then keynote struck
That shall sound through distant
ages,
And deed was done, that unsullied
lies,
On History's fairest pages.
And our land grew fair, as blushing
maid
When she hastes to meet he lover !;
And cloud arose, through SO small
at first
That the hand ola man might cover.
And the God of Discord, the apple
threw
And though but gilded toy,
1t burst Ger our land in a crimson
rain
Like that DER the fields of Troy.
But the dawn of better day has
come,
Its light DER our land is cleaning /;
Where war once trailed her crimson
flag
The banner of Peace is streaming.
And beneath its folds both North and
South
Keep this day of their Nations
glory.
And that they thus meet, shall be the
theme
OF many song and story.
One purpose now, as when their Sires
Proud England's might were dar-
ing;
And in memories of their gallant
deeds,
Both North and South are sharing.
And they who once were deadly foes,
In peace and love are meeting;
And all things prove the Nations
heart,
To rhythm true is beating.
When fever stretched her yellow hand
And its woe on the South was lying,
Scarce nurse was left to help the sick,
Or Priest to shrive the dying.
Then the North forgot they were her
foes,
She helped them in their danger;
And ingratitude to Southern hearts
Must ever prove stranger.
When the North was swept by fire
and flood,
! The South her aid was sending;
And when mourned the North her
fallen chief,
| The South DER his bier was bending.
So in all the future may we live,
Our veal and danger sharing,
| Let hate be left for coward souls,
For generous are the daring.
Let the Southland to the North re-
spond,
Naught shall our country sever;
Let the Eastern Ocean rhyme to the
West.
One Flag, one Land forever.
